My face turns red and I sweat a lot when i talk to people - strangers and even those people i knew but occasionally see - my boss, a former classmate, a former teacher i met on the mall. I hated meetings because when it's my time to talk,my face just turns red, feels hot and sweat starts to roll down from my forehead even if the air conditioning is on.

this has been a problem cause it has pushed me to avoid socializing. This has also hindered me to do good with my job. I even turned down a promotion because of this. Even if i don't think about it, and even if i feel confident in talking to someone, i can't stop my face from turning red and i can't stop the sweating.

i heard cognitive behavior therapy is one good cure for it. can meditation also help? i am even looking for procedures or pills that can help stop profuse sweating as well.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Meditation, Deep Breathing Techniques, Yoga, Tai Chi, are all good techniques to assist with the anxiety part. You might want to try a qualified herbalist as well, reputable ones are often recommended by health insurance providers or physicians. Chamomile tea is known for its calming properties so to is lavender when used as aromatherapy or in bathwater. I've looked into excessive sweating treatments before and seem to only find the options of injections or surgery (neither are appealing to me) but look into it and see what you're comfortable with. There are options, best of luck.

Hey guys,
Try looking to God for help pray that he will take away your fears and stress and he will. Give all your cares to him he will resolve them in his perfect way:) It worked for me God Bless
